A year to the day of the untimely passing of one of the greatest musicians the world has ever known this year, Prince super-fans, Rob da Bank and Tayo, will team up again for another very special Purple Rave celebration event at the Clapham Grand.

Mining their encyclopaedic knowledge of the purple one’s vast back catalogue, Rob and Tayo’s Purple Rave outings have become true events in their own right since 2009. Rocking everywhere from Glastonbury to Bestival and beyond, the pair drops a booty shaking array of sing-along anthems, fat floor fillers, the deepest cuts, amazing remixes, cheeky bootlegs, and incredible cover versions to keep the party bouncing all night. A celebration of Dance, Music, Sex, Romance, it’s guaranteed to be historic and a fitting tribute to Prince.

Joining Tayo and Robby on the night will be Prince superfan MYLO who is about to follow up his Destroy Rock & Roll album with new music this year.

Also, live on stage are Prince-less who went down a storm at October’s Purple Rave with their set up of perfect Prince covers. They will again be joined by flamboyant dance troupe The Suzie Sisters.

Prince’s Oscar-winning (Oscar for best soundtrack obviously) Purple Rain will also be screened on the Grand’s 25ft wide screen! The film will be played from 8.45pm.

As a further visual treat, there will be further clips of Prince performing on the big screen from past live concert films.
